I wasn't aware that Steam Next Fest has started, until I saw this.

TIL: Godot default max FPS is uncapped.

So, my game was running at ~750fps, generating tons of unnecessary fames. 🤦‍♂️

Adding a limit of 60 fps reduces GPU utilization from 29% to 2.4%, which is over 10x improvements.

@samyam_youtube Congrats on 15k! I'm working on a desktop cat game too. Great minds think alike!

[Boon @BoonMakesGames]

Feeding the cats.

Yes, I'm still working on the game.

@chrismadoath Thanks! Still making games and playing around with Godot. But recently I'm not working on VR, as I get too tired putting the headset on and off 😂.

@igalencar Sorry, I'm only making games in my free time right now. I don't think I'm suitable to be in a project with others.

[Boon @BoonMakesGames]

@DillonSteyl Making a game from "It's working but not fun" to "It's so fun I'd pay for it" requires lots of hard work.

Writing my first #GodotEngine editor plugin...

[Boon @BoonMakesGames]

@M4renz @W4Games @godotengine Oh, ok so they exist in the section below. It's empty in the "Getting started" section.

Neon cat...
Finally got the animated cat sprite to be color-customizable on #GodotEngine

Alright, second tutorial done.

Searching for a 'Godot cloud save tutorial' on YouTube, and there's none. I even saw my own tutorial for Unity cloud save in the results 😂😂.

So I've decided to create my own YT tutorial for #GodotEngine cloud save. Any suggestion?

[Boon @BoonMakesGames]

Currently, I have my eyes on these: @SilentWolfCloud seems to be the easiest to implement (it's designed for Godot), has premade auth UI.
Firebase has an extensive Godot plugin, but it's not designed for games.
LootLocker (no plugin) and PlayFab require some extra REST API work.
